The best part of this novel is that Uhura is the main character. She gets a romance and gets to put her skills to use. Her and the female Klingon Kali are well written.  The rest...yikes. Spock had a few out of character rage moments, the Klingons didn't talk like Klingons half the time, and this author thinks that tax dollars and poor working conditions somehow exist in the Federation. The plot is about a race of aliens being hunted for their crystal tears that you can only get by killing them,  and apparently it's the latest fad for Federation women. Totally mind boggling. Probably a parallel to the growing anti fur movement in the 80s but why make it the *Federation* who are mass killing aliens for fashion? And where did all this talk of money, working to survive, tax dollars. etc come from. 
If the rest of this book wasn't stupid as hell, it'd be a 4 star.

imagine waking up from a two year long magical coma only to instantly be stabbed in the gut, mauled by a lynx, poisoned by a snake, and turned into a gas cloud.

Kind of hilarious that this was published during pride month and there's multiple coming out jokes about Narumi being an otaku. I love the LGBTO community.

Very predictable (this was basically a "5 times ___ did ___ and 1 time ___ didnt" fanfic) and a mostly fun read. Honestly didn't feel much chemistry between Arek and Matt but the premise made up for it. When people are over the top oblivious it's fun.
dark informative inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

Really cool to read first hand accounts of what it was like before, during and after Stonewall and what the community was like.
